(Psalm 77:14) You are the God Who does wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the peoples.

I got an email a long time ago that needs to be reread from a good friend of mine, the Right Reverend Peter Stanway, who's now gone home to be with Jesus. His ‘flock’ in Kilcreggan, Scotland, used to say he was a ‘Minister of Religion’… to me, he was being ‘Jesus with skin on!’ Anyway, I asked him how things were going, and he responded with a catalogue of miracles—here's just one of them.

"…and then there was the car that careered off the road, down the embankment and was slipping into the high tide water like a grotesque turtle malevolently upturned, the outcome of mischievous play by wanton boys…..bad enough, until I heard the screams of the forlorn mother, “my babies, my babies, somebody save my babies!”

If I really were Jesus, I could have run out to them on the water, but I had to swim through the icy, 12-foot-high waves of ice in the driving storm, gasping for air and swallowing more salt than oxygen.

Taking a huge gulp of all the air I could swallow, I dived into the murky waters, where two little children were floating in the surreal tank of their Vauxhall Astra tomb. The crushed doors were jammed, and there was no way to open them. Back on the surface, I screamed for help; a man raced from the growing crowd and swam to me with a metal bar of divine flotsam washed up on the periphery of the tide’s limit.

We dived together, wedged the bar between the mangled car door and the body, and with the full weight of both of our bodies, the door began to give. It seemed like ages until there was enough room to reach in and drag the babies out of the car and onto terra firma. My first aid training came graphically back, and soon, the babies were coughing water and snot – they were alive!

The ambulance came and whisked the family off to check them over at the local hospital, Dave, my timely helper, came over with his blanket wrapped around his shoulders and looked silently with me at the place in the water where the car would be. “Wow!” he breathed. “That was a miracle”.

“It sure was,” I replied. Praise God!” “Tell me about Jesus,” Dave asked, looking straight into my eyes. I need a miracle.”

Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:11) 

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve those who are sick amongst us—such as Barbara and Ian fighting cancer. Please also pray for a quick and full healing for Jay after a total knee operation and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs so that they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. "
